“I didn’t get Frank Bush at all, and I don’t get Coach Z either,” Cook said. “I am very surprised at that, very surprised. I just don’t understand that move. Point blank. Period. I mean, Coach Z was a great run blocking coach and he really explained the run game and he really broke things down to where you could really understand things better.

“And he was great in the development of all of us. I just don’t get why you would want to let a guy like that go.”

As a whole, Cook said players are wondering.

“Some of the things they’ve done, I don’t understand,” Cook said. “I feel like Coach Z was too good to let go. I loved him as a coach, and he was the kind of guy you needed on the staff. He was the kind of guy who was going to have you prepared. I don’t get a lot of things that are happening.”
